Booking tips

Hotel prices are generally lower in the off-season, from November to March. Book well in advance, especially if travelling during peak season (summer) or major holidays. Look for hotels near metro stations for easy access to sights.

Food to try

Try souvlaki, grilled meat skewers, from street vendors all over the city. Sample moussaka, a baked eggplant dish, at a traditional taverna in Plaka. Don't miss loukoumades, Greek donuts, for a sweet treat.

Getting around
